Christopher Adu Boahen, a son of the late historian and New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Professor Albert Adu Boahen, has been killed in a robbery attack.
Reports suggest that the late Christopher Adu Boahen, a physically challenged person, met his tragic end after armed robbers invaded his home in East Legon, Accra.
The robbers are said to have forcefully entered Christopher’s residence, unleashing chaos as they ransacked his home, leading to the fatal outcome.
The heart-wrenching incident has left his family and friends in total shock, with his 1995 year group at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where he pursued electrical engineering, expressing sadness over the loss.
“Sad to announce the untimely passing of our classmate, Christopher. Wicked persons entered his home, ransacked the place, and robbed him of his life. His home, at East Legon, has been barricaded by the police and declared a crime scene.
“May the soul of our brother find rest in the Lord. Bad news for a Monday morning, but let’s keep our spirits up and look forward to a great week,” the post from the school group said.
Christopher’s father was the NPP’s presidential candidate in 1992, in the first elections held in Ghana after the country’s return to democracy under the Fourth Republic.
He was also the brother of Charles Adu Boahen, who served as a minister of state at the Ministry of Finance in the Akufo-Addo government.
